The Spot You Need To Hit. With a quality bullet or slug, you can kill a broadside deer in its tracks by shooting through the near-side shoulder and into (or through) the off-side shoulder. And if you have the skills, gear and time to be extra precise in your shot placement, hit a bit high in the shoulder.

What’s the best time to kill a big buck?

Will a buck snort at you?

Archers often hear deer snort at a distance and wonder if they were detected. Surprisingly, snorting does not always occur because a deer detects the presence of a human. Deer often snort out of frustration and anger. I’ve witnessed them snort at housecats, raccoons and many other smaller mammals we often encounter.

Why do deer make a screaming sound?
